A cute and charming Nintendo take on the ever-popular Resident Evil aimed at kids. It gives Luigi a character, which I like, and some of the puzzles here are there are neat, but overall this just felt repetitive to me. The gameplay loop of "knock on thing, ghost pops out, press R and wiggle stick" got old very quickly, especially in the final third of the game. I also severely struggled with the controls due to the odd perspective; I might go and play the 3DS remake to see if that helps my eyes a bit more. Great sound design all around, though, which is a weird compliment I didn't expect I'd make, but hey. Like I said, it's very charming, even if I personally didn't really care for the end result.
